Default Seat Replacement

How about seat replacement. This seems to be a very common issue. I'm seriously looking at a new seat. The one on the bike is very unconfortable for long rides. Corbin makes one, Gunfighter & Lady, Model Y-FZ6-4-GL, cost $319. Has anyone got this one? How is it?
I think Sargent cycles also makes one?

I'd seriously look into the other options if I were you. Corbin seems to be extremely unorganized and disconcerned. I returned my seat over a week ago now and was told I would get a phone call from a manager as soon as it showed up. Not only have I not recieved the phone call, when I tried to reach him yesterday he was to busy and wouldn't talk to me.

What about the 2005 service manual? Is it the same as the 04 with addendums. The 2005 service manual is $60 from yamaha, but I don't think there is any difference between the 2004 and 2005 bikes.

I threw the walker at the nearest disabled child while doing a wheelie and gave the hot mother a wink. I think she was turned on.

They are in the Aftermarket Mods sticky at the bottom of the first post. I can put them in here too, it it isn't too intuitive.

Yes, same + addendums. Bikes are the same, addendums were mainly corrections and additions.
